need to attach mounting frames to it before you install it in a
horizontal bay. Follow these guidelines:
0 If you are installing a drive with a 5.25-inch form factor,
skip to “Installing the Drive” on page 5-17.
0 If you install a drive that has a 3.5-inch form factor, it must
have mounting frames to fit properly in the horizontal bay.
Follow the steps in the next section.

frames on it, see if it also has a plastic guiderail and metal
grounding plate attached to it. If so, you’ll need to replace
